How to Get Somebody to Open Up to You Without Any Effort
If you want to know what’s wrong, be observant
Can’t you just tell when something is wrong with your friend? They give you the occasional “I’m good,” but you know something is up. It’s hard to get your friends to open up to you. As their friend, you don’t want to see them down in the dumps because if they’re not happy then you’re not happy.
You can’t expect your friends to open up to you every time something is going left in their life, either it can be too much to get into, or it’s too tough to explain. You know this feeling, there’s been times where you’ve been hurt before and didn’t know how to open up about it.
Even with my time in therapy, I had many appointments where the conversation was all small talk and nothing was solved. Even though I was there to see a therapist and talk to him about what was going on in my life, I couldn’t bring myself to it.
This is important to understand when it comes to your friends, no matter who you are to them, opening up may not be something that they want to do at the moment. There’s something that you’ll always not know about your friends, this isn’t a bad thing but it’s something that everyone in a relationship goes through.
